Predicting the Jazz draft

[green]

Like Vonleh or Gordon but won't that be too many good big men to find minutes for?

Too many big men? Impossible!!! It was just two years ago, Utah had "too many big men." We had four big men that had the ability to start at a high level, and our schrewed front office turned 4 starting big men into...two starting big men. And let the two that are playing at an All-Star level walk for nothing!!! Woohoo!!!

Vonleh and McDermott

The more and more I watch college ball, the more I believe mid round picks like Nik Stauskas, Doug McDermott, Adreian Payne, TJ Warren, etc. are incredible value picks.

With that said, we better get a top 3.

Just saying that everyone who owns a pick in this draft is a winner. Hope Jabari stops struggling, and Wiggins starts to dominate. There's no Lebrons, Kobes, Durants, or Duncans, but there are some T-Mac's, Blake Griffins, and smarter Carmellos.

Don't care if you agree or not with the decision, but it irritates me to hear the "Jazz let them walk for nothing." That is simply not true. Had the Jazz retained them - or traded them for other players - it is extremely likely those trades would have resulted in getting players back with multiple years left on their contracts. Essentially, the Jazz traded those two for Biedrins, RJ and Rush. Keep Millsap and/or Jefferson and throw in players like Carroll: the Jazz contend for the 8th seed, get the 14th/15th pick in the draft. Free up cap room, the Jazz also get GS' pick this season, their pick in 2017 AND have the option to trade RJ, Rush or Biedrins for more assets: or let THOSE contracts expire and potentially use about half of that to take on a contract or sign a FA. So, NO..the Jazz did NOT let them "walk for nothing." The Jazz FO calculated that cap space in the summer of 2013 would likely be more valuable than any offers that they received prior to the 2013 trade deadline.

Jerami Grant, Michael Frazier, Justin Jackson. More of who I want rather than a prediction. But still!
